Summary: A nice little book
Comment: This book covers a broad range of geometries, including convexity and an introduction to topology. It presents revelent definitions followed by intuitive theorems (some with full proofs, others partial).
For a general study in geometry at the university level, this book is quite adequate. It's use of analytic methods and exploratory exercises, makes it an appropriate introduction for the undergraduate who is considering further studies in geometry or analysis.

Summary: for students?
Comment: This is the required text in my Eucliden Geometry class in college and while for the most part I find this book a useful tool, I often find terms and definitions either underexplained or introduced without definition, which can be frustrating to a student new to the dicipline. It has a very easy-to-follow introduction to non-Euclidean geometies, however, and I recommed the book especially on this level. Overall, however, I feel it could be written in more of a student-friendly manner.
